3. "Christmas in Vietnam," Johnny & John

Two soldiers trapped in a foxhole know they won't be home this year, but that doesn't stop them from remembering happier times or just wanting to hear "Jingle Bells." It won't be merry this Christmastime, they know. They'll only be friends and loved ones all around me dyin'.
